I was playing with my mate this morning. He hit the ball it went in the air, bounce twice,rolled then disappered. It had gone into a rabbit warren. I gave him a free drop. But what would the ruling be if it was a competiton or leagie

I'm not sure at all on this; I've only ever been on fairways or greens and the only time my ball has ever disappeared down a hole is when it is the one with a flagstick in it.
The grass is always greener.

“When your ball is in a rabbit hole, you get a free drop under Rule 16... but you must have a reasonable stroke into the back of the ball in order to get that free relief”

The rule means, that if the rabbit hole wasn't there would you have a clear strike on the ball. If the hole is covered in thick grass/shrubs or roots you would not have a clear shoot.

No rabbit stories here but I did witness 2 things on the first tee I thought would never happen and wont for the rest of my life. 1. A decent golfer was hitting off No 1 in my group after a morning of hard rain and at impact none of us or the group behind actually saw the ball.He literally drove it straight into the ground in front of the tee such was the angle of attack and soft ground .After we stopped laughing we let him re load for free and he manage to par the hole . 2. A complete and utter hacker ( but one of the nicest human beings ever) was playing with us on a tough course with water in front and behind the first tee .We play blue or middle tees so in the process of hitting off he bladed it with the driver hitting the front tee marker dead in the middle and came backwards past us into the lake behind us not only losing ground but the ball of course . We never counted it just let him hit from where our tee shots landed otherwise we might be there still We play for fun as everybody can tell nobody good enough to qualify for anything

I played golf with a chimneysweep some years ago. He slaughtered me. I asked him what was his handicap. “Central heating” he replied. The ol' ones are the best.

Well bugger me. I was told years ago you only got relief if you could get a club face to the ball. Wonder if its changed over the years.
Rule 16.1.e applies.
Free drop if it is ‘known or virtually certain’ that the ball has entered the rabbit hole. If this is not the case then stroke and distance penalty under rule 18.2

A mate and I were once playing golf on a more or less deserted course and at the second hole, a very short one, I played a decent tee shot, surprisingly, and was handily placed.
Then, however, a crow swooped down and flew off with my ball. It quickly realised that it wasn't in fact an egg and promptly dumped it in a stream. I allowed myself a free drop

back in the day, footballers seemed to make golf their second sport....relaxed.
was chatting to an ex pompey player today, he said bobby campbell was a superb golfer, played from scratch. wander how many ex qpr related players/managers/coaches were up there with the pros.

I once got robbed by a monkey whilst playing golf.
We stayed at Sun City in South Africa during the World Cup in 2010. Played one of the courses there, and while I was teeing off on one of the holes a monkey ran out from the trees and nicked a bottle of blue energy drink from my bag, ran back in the bushes and sat there drinking it and watching us.
Not sure if there’s anything specific in the rules about that, but I was allowed to play my tee shot again without penalty.
